FIGURE 1.

Sequence analysis of Sj7170 from the scorpion S. jendeki. A, predicted protein sequence is shown below the nucleotide sequence. The 5′- and 3′-UTR regions are written in lowercase letters. The signal peptide is not underlined; the mature peptide is underlined, and the cysteine residues are highlighted in red color. B, sequence alignment of Sj7170 and other Ascaris-type peptides. Identical and similar residues are highlighted by different colors. Predicted disulfide connections are shown with lines. C, minimum evolution tree of representative Ascaris-type proteins based on the multiple sequence alignment.
